Paris Saint-Germain confirm signing of Randal Kolo Muani Frankfurt.
Paris Saint-Germain has formally announced the high-profile signing of Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Frankfurt had long insisted on paying Β£85 million for their star attacker, but 90min reported earlier on September 1 that PSG and Frankfurt had reached an agreement on a Β£77 million price. There was still a problem with the German club’s ability to identify Kolo Muani’s replacement.
Hugo Ekitike was repeatedly offered to the Bundesliga by PSG, but Ekitike’s refusal to transfer to Frankfurt seems to have effectively killed the agreement.

The Ligue 1 powerhouses persuaded Frankfurt to release Kolo Muani in the last hours of the transfer window despite not having a successor in place.
Kolo Muani became well-known during the 2022β23 Bundesliga season as a result of his remarkable 15 goals and 14 assists in 32 games.
The France international was so eager to join Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele in the PSG assault that he skipped training to force a connection.
“I owe Eintracht a lot. I always gave my best. But it’s no secret that PSG made a record offer for me, I’d like to join them as it’s big opportunity I hope Eintracht will accept,” said Kolo Muani after making efforts to make a transfer happen – a transfer that has now materialised.
Paris Saint-Germain is pleased to announce the signing of Randal Kolo Muani. The French striker, who will wear number 23, has committed to 5 years with the Club βοΈ
